A promoter has canceled a scheduled March 14 show by rising band Viet Cong. The band was scheduled to play at Dionysus Disco at Oberlin college. However, promoter Ivan Krasnov decided to cancel the show. Krasnov stated:

"As the person behind booking this band, I would first and foremost like to apologize on both my and my booking organization’s behalf for inviting a band with a name that deeply offends and hurts Vietnamese and Vietnamese-American communities, both in Oberlin and beyond. I acknowledge the problematic nature of a band naming themselves “Viet Cong” and extend my apology to anyone hurt or made uncomfortable by the name and its connotations... The fact that the band openly acknowledges their problematic name, yet fails to change it or do anything about it, highlights this blatantly appropriative move, reinforcing a tradition of American (and Western) orientalism and appropriation."

The band has not yet responded. The band released Viet Cong this year. You can click read more for the Promoter's entire statement.

Glenn Danzig has announced several releases covering the span of his career. First, a 12-inch vinyl single of Danzig's "Black Hell," originally off the Hangover II sound track. Second, he will be releasing a 12-inch reissue of his first solo release, 1981's Who Killed Marilyn?. Both of those are tentatively slated for release in April.

The Stone Operation was a traveler's record, spanning worldwide, taking you everywhere from Paris to Dallas to Romania to Nevada City. This Is Not For Children is more home-based, using Philly and the state of PA as the backdrop, a running theme throughout. This record hunkers down at the South Philly dive bar around the corner from the practice space and shares stories of home, deaths of friends, gentrification, squatting, coal mining, baseball, working, drinking, and horror movies... yet we think any person in any city will relate to it. It's also simpler in instrumentation: less chaotic ornamentation, not as much clanging and banging. No banjos, more punk, less "Gypsy"...if you will.
